SUPER BEAUTIFUL, WIDELY UNKNOWN BOOK by the great American photographer Helen Levitt ('The Way of seeing') - in BRANDNEW CONDITION.

"Helen Levitt's earliest pictures are a unique and irreplaceable look at street life in New York from the mid-193os to the end of the 1940s. There are children at play, lovers flirting, husbands and wives, young mothers with their babies, women gossiping, and lonely, old men. A majority of these photographs have never been published. Other pictures included in this book are now world-famous, part of the canon and visual language of photography. Combined they provide a record of New York City not seen since Levitt's pioneering solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in 1943."

Helen Levitt (1913-2009), one of the most prominent female photographers in America, is one of the pioneers of street photography. Animated by Walker Evans and influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson and his philosophy of the Decisive Moment she started in the 1930s to develop a distinctive style, coined by Evans as “anti-journalism“. The streets of the poorer New York districts were transformed to stages of everyday life by the lens of Levitt's camera. The photographer herself presents her most iconic works in this volume, supplemented by formerly unpublished colour photographs. More than 100 of her legendary works shot in New York are united with pictures taken in Mexico and a dedication by Walker Evans to pay hommage to the american artist and her career that spans over more than seventy years.

Wonderful, widely unknown photobook by Helen Levitt - in perfect condition.

Helen Levitt was born in Brooklyn in 1913. Her photographs —made on the streets of New York— have inspired and amazed generations of photogra-phers, collectors, and curators. Levitt's first major museum exhibition was at the Museum of Modern Art in 1943, and a second solo show was held there in 1974. Her pictures have been collected in a number of monographs, several published by powerHouse Books including Crosstown, Here and There, and Helen Levitt. Retrospectives of her work have been organized by museums including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, and International Center of Photography.

Geoff Dyer's many books include But Beautiful, Out of Sheer Rage, The Missing of the Somme, The Ongoing Moment, the novel Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi, and the essay collection Otherwise Known as the Human Condition (winner of a National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism). His latest book is White Sands: Experiences from the Outside World.
A recipient of a 2015 Windham Campbell Prize for non-fiction, he is an Honorary Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He currently lives in Los Angeles where he is Writer in Residence at USC.
